The research explores how virtual economies are structured and how players interact with them, analyzing the balance between supply and demand, currency inflation, and the regulation of in-game resources. Drawing on economic theories of market dynamics and behavioral economics, the paper investigates how in-game economic systems influence player spending, engagement, and decision-making. The study also evaluates the role of developers in maintaining a stable virtual economy and mitigating issues such as inflation, pay-to-win mechanics, and market manipulation. The research provides recommendations for developers to create more sustainable and player-friendly in-game economies.</p> <a href="https://blog-402847147231.mit-edu.top/post/3658479120" class="post-author d-flex align-items-center"> <div class="author-pic"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/user/14.jpg" alt="Behavioral Economics of In-Game Auctions: A Multi-Agent Simulation Approach" title="Behavioral Economics of In-Game Auctions: A Multi-Agent Simulation Approach" class="lazyload"> </div> <div class="text"> <strong>Michelle Turner</strong> <span>2025-02-05 published post</span> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="post-entry d-md-flex small-horizontal mb-5"> <div class="me-md-5 thumbnail mb-3 mb-md-0"> <a href="https://blog-402847147231.mit-edu.top/post/1750234698"> <img src="https://x.mit-edu.top/static/images/post/2.jpg" alt="Behavioral Typologies in Competitive Gaming: Insights from Big Data Analytics" title="Behavioral Typologies in Competitive Gaming: Insights from Big Data Analytics" class="img-fluid lazyload"> </a> </div> <div class="content"> <div class="post-meta mb-3"> <a href="https://blog-1750234698.mit-edu.top/post/1750234698/" target="_blank"> <span class="date">2025-02-05</span> </a> </div> <h2 class="heading"><a href="https://blog-402847147231.mit-edu.top/post/1750234698">Behavioral Typologies in Competitive Gaming: Insights from Big Data Analytics</a></h2> <p class="info">This systematic review examines existing literature on the effects of mobile gaming on mental health, identifying both beneficial and detrimental outcomes.
